Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate biscuits or cookies
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mixed berry jam or compote (blackberry, raspberry, cherry)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate, melted (for coating)
  • Ruby chocolate or freeze-dried berry shards, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate biscuits, melted butter, and salt until well combined.
  2. Press the mixture into the base of small silicone molds or a lined mini muffin tin. Chill for 15 minutes until firm.
  3. If using fresh berries for compote, simmer with lemon juice and cornstarch over medium heat until thickened. Let cool slightly.
  4. Pour a layer of melted milk chocolate over the chilled biscuit bases. Allow it to set slightly.
  5. Add a small spoonful of berry filling on top of the milk chocolate layer. Freeze for 30 minutes until solid.
  6. Once firm, remove from molds and dip each piece into melted dark chocolate to coat. Use a fork or dipping tool.
  7. Place coated cakes on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with ruby chocolate shavings or freeze-dried berry pieces.
  8. Let set at room temperature or refrigerate until chocolate hardens.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use good quality chocolate for best results, especially for coating.
  • You can make the berry compote in advance and refrigerate it until ready to use.
  • These treats freeze well—perfect for making ahead for special occasions.
